Best Hall & Oates Album

Glad you like Wizard! So are you saying you'd rather have heard how Rundgren would've produced a "She's Gone"-type song, instead of Daryl trying to out-weird Todd with bizarre material?

Hmmm. I mean, I love the title track so much, and that's definitely in the "out-weird" zone (or was it more Rundgren encouraging them to embrace their weirder ideas?). But in terms of missed potential I look more to like, "Better Watch Your Back" which is a more conventional kind of H&O song that has this more post-psych art-rock sound to it. Idk. I think I'm really just hearing a lot of the songs as almost-great but a little clunky, and imagining they just needed a few more weeks rehearsing together with the band and getting a feel for the songs all together, finding what they wanted to be.
